Jeff Sanders (Continued from page 1) However, I will bring a fresh perspective to the Council Table that will enable Tribal Council to be more effective in dealing with the challenges it has been struggling with. The many leadership roles I have held during my diverse career have prepared me for serving on Tribal Council. I believe that a Tribal Council representative should set the tone and direction for tribal government on important issues such as crime, burglaries, drugs, drug dealers, domestic violence, juvenile gangs, housing, jobs, poverty, education, economic development, job training, em ployee accountability, strategic planning for tribal government, preservation and teaching of traditions and customs, high school and college dropouts, academic achievements, and development of tribal manag ers and supervisors. But most of all, the Agency District Representative must put the people first above travel and outside meetings, workshops, and special interests. There is no one more important than the tribal membership. It is the re sponsibility of our Tribal Coun cil to insure that we have a safe and secure community for all of us. It is Tribal Council responsi bility to protect the people's monies and natural resources. I have the experience, the knowledge, the desire, and the willingness to work hard and be a strong contributor on Tribal Council. We are all in this to gether and our Tribal Council needs to reflect that reality in the way it does business, I am a team player, and with your help, I can make a difference in bring ing the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs back to where it belongs. At the same time, we (you and I) can make the future brighter for our children and the children yet to come. I respectfully ask for your vote on Election Day. Jeffery E. Sanders Sr. I would like to apologize to the officer of the Warm Springs Police Department for all the in convenience and hassle. Thank you for all your help. Sincerely, Jerry Clement. v To the Tribes: On Feb. 1, while traveling south on High way 26, there was an accident at approximately milepost 77. I am sincerely wondering if the people of Warm Springs and those involved in this accident accept an apology for your in convenience. Sincerely, Mark Miller. To all the people in Warm Springs, I am sorry for being toes up on the day of July 21, 2003 around 2:35 a.m. I am apolo gizing for the way I was that day, and thanks to the cops for look ing out for me. Spencer Poitra To Warm Springs: This is a letter of apology. On August 9 the crime of DUII, reckless en dangerment and duties of a driver were committed by my self. I had been lucky no one had been hurt because of my foolish actions. I frightened some people and I am sorry one of the victims felt that my pun ishment had not been enough to satisfy her. I am sitting out my sentence so I have a lot of time to think about this foolish action and what it could have caused. I apologize to Webb, Greene and the gentleman and his wife their name I cannot re call. I am sorry for putting them and countless others in danger and hope they accept my apol ogy. Thank you, Kendrick J. Arthur. To Taylor Kennedy I would like to say sorry for what my brother and me done. And I hope you accept my apology. Cause I would like to have peace in the future. And maybe we can be friends and not enemies. From J. Lamcbear. To the people of Warm Springs: On August 6, 2003 I was issued a citation for DUII. On February 26, 2004 I was sentenced, please accept my apology for being so irrespon sible that day again I'm sorry. Thank you, Gregory Jackson, Sr. To D. Lamebear: Hey Mom, just writing to say Hi and that I love you very much and I'm sorry for all the bad things I've done. Hopefully when I get out I'll do good, it'll give me time to think things through. Just know that I'm very sorry and I'll see you later. From your son, J. Lamebear. To the community of Warm Springs: I would like to say I am deeply sorry for my actions in September of 2003. 1 will not let myself or others be so im mature. I would like to apolo gize to the others who were in the vehicle and to the owners of the other vehicles. Robert Sam, Jr. To the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. I, Donell Vale Frank, am apologizing for breaking tribal laws during the summer of 2003. I put family friends and other people in dan ger and that is very important, because of these acts. I must make better choices in my life in order to be a positive model to some of the youth that look up to me. I must change. Thank you for your time. This apology goes to Dallas Winishut. I'm sorry for not nominating you during the Agency District meeting. Though by coincidence two weeks ago I mentioned to you, "if you were ready for nomi nees this year?" You said, "yes, you were." I guess I should have asked you if you were certain because last term 2000 you de clined my nomination due to a project you were working on. But I really thought you could have been the voice for our Warm Springs community chil dren regarding their education, recreation and communicative needs. So, keep up the good work in all you do. Stay posi tive. Laurel Wheeler. I'm writing this apology to my family who I hurt by doing the unthinkable. I messed up and lost your trust. I tried to correct my wrongdoings with an apol ogy and reasons for why I did what I did and also repay my debts. If I could, I'd change what happened but it's in the past. I can only look back upon it, learn from it and change my lifestyle for the better. I also want to thank everyone who has ac cepted my apology and forgiven me but still remains to be there and support me through the hard times I am facing. Respect fully, C. Spino. I would like to take this time to apologize to Officer Roch elle for my behavior and actions on March 7, 2004. A.R.S.
